A PRELUDE TO A CRITICAL RACE THEORETICAL ACCOUNT OF CIVIL PROCEDURE |
107 Virginia Law Review Online 143 (June, 2021) |
In this Essay, I examine the lack of scholarly attention given to the role of civil procedure in racial subordination. I posit that a dearth of critical thought interrogating the connections between procedure and the subjugation of marginalized peoples might be due to the limited experiences of procedural scholars; a misconception that procedural... |

BRINGING RACIAL JUSTICE TO IMMIGRATION LAW |
116 Northwestern University Law Review Online 1 (May 13, 2021) |
From at least as far back as the anti-Chinese laws of the 1800s, immigration has been a place of heated racial contestation in the United States. Although modern immigration laws no longer expressly mention race, their enforcement unmistakably impacts people of color from the developing world. Specifically, the laws, as enacted and... |

Building on years of anti-racist organizing and advocacy, millions of Americans took to the streets to protest racism and demand racial justice in mid-2020.

Authoritarianism is on the rise globally, threatening democratic society and ushering in an era of extreme division.

American Muslim Women: Who We Are and What We Demand from Feminist Jurisprudence |

It is time for feminist jurisprudence to recognize American Muslim women (AMW) as a distinct and agentic group. For too long, feminist discourse has victimized and objectified Muslim women.
